Failure of sanitary wells to protect against cholera and other diarrhoeas in Bangladesh.

R J Levine, M R Khan, S D'Souza, D R Nalin.

Abstract

Within an area of Bangladesh in which the incidence of cholera was high, use of sanitary pipe wells did not protect against cholera or related non-cholera diarrhoeas because well users also used contaminated water sources regularly enough to maintain high infection-rates. Protection was found to correlate with education and wealth.
